Would you expect a ‘pulled pork burger’ to have a beef Pattie with pulled pork on top, or just pulled pork in a bun with no beef Pattie?

1. Probably just pulled pork unless it specifically states its a beef burger topped with pulled pork.

2. If I saw it with no further description I would assume beef patty with a pulled pork topping.

3. I would assume a burger patty included, otherwise it’s a pulled pork sandwich or pulled pork bun

4. Just pulled pork, much like I wouldn’t expect a beef patty with a ‘chicken burger’

5. “Pulled pork burger” = Beef patty and pork.

   “Pulled pork sandwich” = Pork only.

6. Just pulled pork

7. I would assume just the pork

8. No way! Just put double the amount of shredded pork, coleslaw in a nice brioche bun….

9. I would expect it to be just pork but when I have ordered this more than once it’s also had a burger which is then too much meat for me. Sad times

10. I’d expect it to be a burger with pulled pork on top. Otherwise it’s just pulled pork in a bun.

11. Could be either.

12. A pulled pork burger has a beef patty with pulled pork on top. Just pulled pork would be a pulled pork sandwich.

    A cheese burger isn’t just cheese with no beef patty.

13. Just pulled pork in this country. But in other countries like Canada or the US I think they’d call just pulled pork a sandwich and a beef pattie with pulled pork ontop a burger

14. My mate was so disappointed in his recent pub mushroom burger. Oh man. Nearly tears.

15. Yes, I would expect a burger with Pulled Pork on top. Unless there was a decent THICK amount of pulled pork in place of a burger. Then I’d be happy with either.

16. Pulled Pork burger to me is just pulled pork in a burger bun. Doesn’t make sense for it to also have a burger.

17. Id read the description on the menu

18. I’d expect it to be loose but only because I would prefer it like that. Almost like a Sloppy Joe type thing

19. Just pulled pork, but I ended up with the former before and was surprised yeah.

20. If it says pulled pork burger I would expect pulled pork on top of a burger. As that is what is in the title. Pulled pork on its own would be called a pulled pork sandwich.

21. Pulled pork squashed to for a burger pattie. No beef.

22. Pork only

23. Just pulled pork.

24. It could be either. It should be stated on the menu.

    Last one I ordered had the patties.

25. Beef pattie with pulled pork on top. If you order a doner burger from takeaway you get a burger with doner meat on top. Whereas ordering a doner butty just gets you doner meat in a breadcake. So just pulled pork would just be a butty.

26. Oof I have much to say about this!

    I once ordered a pulled pork burger and it came with a patty and I was very upset cos I don’t like wasting food but I knew I couldn’t eat both!

    It stopped me from ordering them in the future.

    And then… I was on holiday and didn’t like anythin else on the menu so ordered it again. Just pulled pork! Perfect. No waste. Good and gooey.

    In conclusion. I expect no patty! 😂

27. Think every time I’ve seen one it’s need a beef burger with pulled pork on top, so based on experience I’d say that

28. I’d expect a burger with the pulled pork. Otherwise it’s just a pulled pork bap.

29. Chicken Burger = Just a chicken burger

    Beef Burger = a beef patty

    Cheese Burger = Cheese with a Beef Patty

    Pulled Pork Burger = Beef Patty with Pulled Pork on top.

    Cheese is a topping

    Pulled Pork is a topping.

30. Question for all. In the UK do you call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger simply because it’s in a bun even if it’s a breaded chicken breast?

31. Pulled pork roll (just pulled pork in bun)
    Pulled pork burger (pulled pork on a burger in a bun)
